Research into the Knights of Malta is quite an experience. Both the
Catholic church and Masonic Order have an organization called by this
name. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (Federal Association, USA)
says in an internet communication, "There are dozens of organizations
which use the name, symbols, and traditions of the Order of Malta in an
unauthorized fashion." They list a group of thirteen such organizations
but state clearly, "The organizations listed below have no affiliation
with the Order of Malta and are not recognized by the Vatican."

The primary organization, called the Knights of Malta, has its
headquarters in the Vatican of Rome and is clearly controlled and operated
by the Catholic church. Their official website gives their name as the
"Sovereign Military Order Of Malta." They state of themselves that this
"is a lay religious order of the Catholic church." It was founded in
Jerusalem in 1099 and it was approved formally as an order by the Pope in
1113. They also say of themselves, "The Order of Malta was admitted to the
United Nations as a permanent observer on August 24, 1994." They also
claim "official diplomatic relations with over eighty states and
international organizations." The Order of Malta is clearly a Catholic
order, controlled by the Pope and totally committed to the Pope, the
Virgin Mary, and service to Roman Catholic ideas and causes. It is a
powerful and massive organization.

With this background, why would Charismatic leaders have an interest in
being an intimate part, being knighted, and accepting responsibility to
serve the Roman church? The answer is simply that a large body of
Charismatic leaders have adopted the same ultimate goals of a One World
Government, a One World Religion, and the necessity of forcing this idea
upon the entire world. The present Pope has met with almost every
religious organization of the World and is inviting everyone to the same
religious table. A One World Religion is ready to be established as soon
as the "Holy" Bride of Jesus Christ has been removed out of their way.
Bible-believing Christians are a thorn in their flesh, but our Bridegroom
will remove that thorn at the proper moment.

In the meantime, Rick Joyner and others are excited to become a part of
the harlot of Rome. It's overwhelming to listen as Rick Joyner tells the
story of how he met the Austrian Baron that had just come from Kurt
Waldheim's office to seek him out and conduct the knighting ceremony.
Let's read some detail of that. Please note the name and things I have
underlined because I want to speak of them.

"I'm sitting in the lobby (Nuremberg, Germany) with Bobby Conner and a few
other people there and this guy comes walking in the lobby of the hotel
who was an interesting looking guy. And Reed, who was Paul Cain's
assistant, was standing behind me. And he said, 'Hey, there's Newman
Peyton.' And this guy was Baron Newman Peyton, who Colonel Byrd had told
me was looking for me. I said, 'Reed, do you know that man.' He said, 'Oh,
yeah, we met him years ago.' And he came over, walked over to me, and said
he had been looking to meet with me. And I stopped him right away. I said,
'Bobby, give me a readout on this guy.' And this guy's going, 'What's a
readout?' (Laughter.) And Bobby goes, 'Sir, when you came in I just saw
something, I saw that you had just come from the office of a man named
Kurt Waldheim . . .' And his eyes got real big 'cause he had just come
from his (Kurt Waldheim) office. And then he (Bobby Conner) said, 'I saw
you or I saw him opening this briefcase and giving you something out of
it.' And Bobby described the briefcase. And his eyes got real big then. He
said, 'This is incredible!' He (Baron Peyton) said, 'That is the only
briefcase like that in the world. I had it custom made for Kurt Waldheim.'
And it was a weird thing Bobby had described." (Morning Star Ministries,
Rick Joyner audio, no date given.)

It's extremely important to notice two things in this description by Rick
Joyner. Upon this man Baron Newman Peyton entering the hotel lobby, Rick
Joyner asked one of his companions to give him a "readout" on this man. A
"readout" is another term for what they call a prophecy or better
described as "fortune telling." These men are deep into sorcery as becomes
clear in hearing this entire tape. Also, the man that Baron Newman Peyton
had just visited and apparently represented in his approach to Rick Joyner
is a notorious individual.

Kurt Waldheim is the recently retired President of Austria. He was also an
officer in the Nazi army and "has been barred from entering the United
States since 1987 as a suspected war criminal." (The Anti-Defamation
League, 1999, A.T.L.) Kurt Waldheim was also recently knighted by the
Pope, sparking the protest of many Jewish groups. Many believe he is
guilty of atrocities against the Jewish people as well as British
prisoners of war. The New Republic magazine stated that "the knighting (of
Kurt Waldheim) also shows that the hatred of Jews is still no impediment
to the esteem of the church (Catholic). Some say it was Waldheim's only
qualification." (The New Republic, September 5, 1994, V211N10, p. 50.).

Connecting this visit to the archives of Nazism and the Knights of Malta
and now to a Nazi war criminal that has recently been knighted by the
Catholic church shows an emerging picture of anti-Semitism. But, it does
not end here.

A Meeting Emerged Between Paul Cain And Saddam Hussein

If what has already been established is not enough, certainly all we need
to add is the entrance of Saddam Hussein into the picture. Saddam Hussein
identifies himself as the modern equivalent of Nebuchadnezzar. He is
rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon where the Jews spent seventy years
of exile. Also, this city is the center of Revelation chapter eighteen
(18) and will be the capitol of the Antichrist during the Tribulation
period. The Antichrist is called an "Assyrian" placing his origination
from the general location of the country of Iraq. The ancient Assyrian
nation geographically spread from Northern Iran to Lebanon, but the
capitol was in Northern Iraq at Nineveh (modern Monsur). I have personally
visited this ancient city.

Let's listen as Rick Joyner tells about the arrangement of this meeting.
He starts at the point where we just ended in telling of the Baron from
Austria being overwhelmed by the "fortune telling" expertise of a man with
Rick Joyner, named Bobby Connor. Please read carefully.

"Bobby told him a little bit more about the papers and everything and it
really got his attention. He was captured from then on . . . And he was a
prophetic man. He was the one who prophesied to Indira Gandhi that if she
did not give her heart to the Lord, she would be dead in one week . . .
Five days later she was assassinated. And he is a friend with head of
number of the Moslem nations, as well as other countries, and he's been a
prophetic voice to them, but he had never seen the gift operate like this
in such a specific way about details like that, so he was just captured.
This worked out strategically in a way you wouldn't believe. It was
important, but this was the guy who was key to getting Paul Cain an
audience with Saddam Hussein. You may have heard us talk about that. And
Paul went. Saddam Hussein, some of his guys had been in a meeting, had
seen the prophetic gift operate and they were utterly convinced that Paul
is a true prophet. Saddam became convinced and he wanted to meet with
Paul. Okay! It all worked out. Well, Newman was the guy who worked this
out. And right after he sent the fax to start this process all this fear
came on him, 'What have I done . . . this could really mess up world
events and things like that.' He didn't know Paul Cain that well . . . And
right after that the Lord had told Bobby Conner to fax Newman Peyton and
just write this that Paul Cain is my man, he's okay, don't worry about it
or something like that. So, Newman sends this fax to make this connection
between Paul and Saddam, to work out this thing. And he's sitting there
going, 'Oh, no, what have I done?' Can't get the fax back. Another fax
comes in, 'Don't worry, Paul Cain's okay.' You know, I mean, it's exactly
on time. They still have the little strips of paper. He sent one out. One
minute later, one comes in, this is it. So, these things happen
strategically. Anyway, we went on and a bunch of us got knighted by these
Knights of Malta. Okay, I did first. And I wasn't even going to do it. I
thought it was a great honor and all. But, I just don't join things like
that . . . Anyway, Paul Cain called me from Austria. And said, you know,
'Just tuned in on it.' And said, 'The Lord is going to give you some
credentials like Paul's credentials where his Roman citizenship really was
used at times . . .' And he said, 'You're really supposed to do this
thing.' So, I did and then later some of the other guys, we even got Bobby
Connor knighted and Steve and Leonard. Anyway, we had a big time. Bobby,
we dubbed Sir Bubba and Mahesh (Chavada) became Sir Loin. We seriously
polluted the Blue Blood of Europe. I mean it was bad. Ricky Skaggs, you
know, country (singer). Aw man, it was a blast. We had a great time
though. Anyway, we got knighted by this thing. It's a real, this somehow
is real important to the Lord. He's kept this order in existence, I think,
like He has Israel. It has an end times purpose and destiny . . . They
went on, made me a knight commander which gave me authority to knight
others and then they made me something else, where I have authority over
all the knights supposedly in the U.S. . . ." (Audio by Rick Joyner
Ministries, no date on tape.)

This is incredible documentation of what certain personalities in the
Charismatic New Wave are willing to do to affect and prepare for the New
World Order. To imagine Saddam Hussein calling a Charismatic prophet for
this prophetic insight is a drawback to ancient rulers and their love for
their sorcerers and fortune tellers. It also shows the affinity between
Dominion Theology and the dreams of Saddam Hussein to be a world dictator.
Dominion Theology, by its very design, has eliminated the prophetic future
of Israel as a nation and the Jews' claim to the promises given to
Abraham.

The New Wave Charismatics are absolutely in the forefront with Pope John
Paul in helping prepare the stage for the false christ. It would be
impossible to inaugurate a One World Order without the religious
component. The political voices from the United Nations, Council of
Foreign Relations Committee, varying political individuals all the way to
Saddam Hussein are nurturing the religious contacts and courting every
conceivable entity as they jockey for power.

When the right man, ordained for the hour appears and God the Father
withdraws His hand of restraint, it will all happen with cosmic speed. The
players in this article are probably insignificant, but the picture is
certainly prophetic.

The rest of this story will be ready for the next edition of The End Times
And Victorious Living (March/April, 1999).
